Here are 5 different tomato salsa recipes you can prepare to accompany your next meal:

Preparation Method

1. Start by slicing the tomatoes, onions and chilies. It is advisable to avoid touching chili with your bare hands. Use disposable gloves if available, wash your hands after handling chili, and avoid touching your eyes for some time. Keep the chili seeds to use if the salsa is not as hot as you want it.
2. Add all the ingredients in the bowl of your food processor. Pulse it six or seven times or when it has finely chopped the ingredients, but do not puree them. Alternatively, you can finely chop the ingredients by hand.
3. Put in a serving bowl. If more chili is needed, add the seeds you removed from the chili and kept. If it is too hot, add more finely chopped tomatoes. Add salt and paper to taste, with some more black paper.
4. Taste with a tortilla chip to get the accurate taste of the seasoning.
5. Let it rest for 2 hours in a refrigerator for the ingredients to meld, marry and mingle for a perfect salsa.
